It is orange season and this is a delicious way to use up excess fruit from your tree - a chocolate orange brownie that tastes like Jaffas.
Preheat your oven to approximately 180 degrees C.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 vegan eggs made with Orgran Egg Replacer
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons of orange zest (about 2 oranges)
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups plain gluten free flour (we used I'm Free From brand from Coles Supermarket)
- 1 cup self raising gluten free flour
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (we used Sweet William brand)
- About 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs and vanilla.
- Add the sugars and mix.
- Then add the orange zest, followed by the sifted cocoa powder and mix.
- Sift in the flours and mix in with the salt.
- Mix the orange juice into the batter, then stir through the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a lined baking tray (the batter should be approximately 2 to 3 cm thick).
- Bake for 30 minutes then check the brownie. Bake for around 45 minutes for a drier (more cake like) brownie, test with a skewer until it comes out clean. If you prefer the brownie to be moist, check the batter until it has reached your desired consistency.
